    Starter Issue

    I have been having an intermittent starter problem for the last couple of weeks. I installed the PC625 battery thinking the one year old battery I had was toast. Still, the intermittent clicking of the solenoid when the starter button was pushed. I took the starter out and all was well inside...

    Bevel Box Drain Plug

    FYI: for those of you who service your own R3 a word of advise...you may want to add a new bevel box (differential) drain plug to your parts bin at home. I managed to "snap" the bolt head off of mine while changing the approximate 5 oz of differential oil and using a 1/4" drive ratchet no...

    Depressing grey sky

    Here in my part of the country winter starts early. This year it started in early October and has yet to subside but has allowed enough short rides in sub 40 degree weather to be counted on one hand. Those rides have allowed me the strength to go on until spring comes once again. Thank God for...

    TuneBoy OBD II Plug.

    Fellow Tuners: I have been unsuccessful in getting the Tuneboy diagnostics to work on my bike and have in fact been in communication with Wayne about this issue for quite some time without resolution.:( Today I discovered that the OBD II female plug on my bike has three pins in use. Pins 4...

    Has anyone had this happen?

    Pushed the R3 outside the shop onto the tarmac this morning. It was about 45 degrees with bright sun shine and the wife and I decided to go for a little ride. I fired the engine and went back into the shop to get my leather jacket. Upon my return (maybe a couple of minutes) I noticed the bike...

    California Emission Standards/Testing

    Captains: Does anyone know what the current emission standard/testing process is for motorcycles in California. I have been made aware that the state of Washington has an emissions law laying on the governors desk for signature that mirrors the state of California. Since the CAT box has been...

    Did you Know..

    In George Washington's day, there were of course no camera's. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many...

    Tune up expectation

    Last week I installed a tune up in my 05 that was to address several issues. Decel pop, speedo error, secondary throttle plates etc. The bike runs like a scalded cat if desired, the decel pop (used to start at 2200 RPM) is OK down to 1300 RPM where it pops loud and long as it did before (which...

    Blue Stuff

    A Question to the Captains. Last night I was checking the fluid levels on my 05 R3 and noted that the coolant was blue and on the minimum line. Is the coolant supposed to be blue or something else. I have only seen this color coolant twice before, both occasions were in two new 07 John Deere...

    Throttle Lock

    Does anyone know where I can find a thumb lock type throttle lock for the R3? I have one on my Valk but due to the throttle grip/kill switch/master cylinder assembly on the R3 being one piece, I don't seem to be able to find one that will work. Any ideas:confused:

    Pciii

    OK. After extensive reading it becomes apparent that the PCIII VS Tuneboy preference is really a one sided affair if one believes what is posted on the Web sites for each with the Tune Boy being much more capable in dealing with several R3 issues. The delema is that the only dyno facility that...

    Seat/Chassis Info..

    I am vertically challenged. My 05 R3 has the stock seat on it which is specified to be 29.1 inches from the ground. I have requested seat height and other information through two dealerships, three weeks ago and have been informed that the Northwest Triumph rep is not returning calls to answer...

    1st Gear

    My fellow riders. today is the first day I have had to go on a road trip of almost 250 miles through the country on county roads. As you may remember, I just bought an 05 R3 with 3500 miles on Monday Sept. 10. I am not totally used to the feel of the R3 yet. Having said that...several times...

    New Ride

    Well...I have started my riding life over again. I just purchased a 05 R3 with 3500 miles and a ton of options. Previously I rode an 01 Valkyrie. I suspect that the VN2000 Vulcan owners that I ride with will no longer run away....and hide.:) So far I just love the R3 and its torque. I am looking...
